About Nic »

My career goal is to combine my passion for writing and sports into one career. With the game of baseball being my main love, nothing interests me more than being able to cover professional baseball for a living. Growing up in Colorado, the Rockies are the MLB team that I follow closest.

As a sophomore at Colorado State University, I follow CSU football and basketball (as well as MWC athletics) very closely while studying journalism.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!

Hi Nic
A few days ago Buck Showalter of ESPN revealed his plan for realigning MLB. I analyze it and critique it. I would very much like your opinion.
Thanks
